Synopsis
In
Orpheus Descending, a young charismatic musician
descends on
a small, repressive southern town. He forms a relationship with a
passionate woman who is trapped in a bad marriage and who has a tragic
past. The play exhibits many of the playwright’s typical themes:
loneliness and desire, sexuality and repression, the longing for
freedom. Violence lurks just below the surface, and it bursts into the
open at the play’s end. The play is also rich in imagery, lyrical
language, and symbolism. It is now recognized as one of Williams’s
weightier plays.
